Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 -- Deb, The burn you describe in the soles of your feet are Neurapathic pain,,we all have that. I have handicapp license plates and I do not feel one bit guilty,,dang why should we? We are disabled. There are days when I dont have energy to waste,,thats why it is so important to do the F.A.R.T.- (Forced Aggressive Rest Therapy). Get your handicap parking permit or have license plates with handicapp on them. We all get the weight gain or weight loss. Drink lots of water and be in supine postion in the bed. Stay off your feet. Get lots of rest. Pace yourself and do not OVER-DO. Make a schedule,stay as stress free as you can,,this is not an easy road at all. Hearing loss is comman and so is ringing in the ears but your Dr. should tell you that. There is alot of us from Texas here,,there is an Epidemic in this state but nobody is listening. There should be Public Service Announcements warning Texas Taxpayers to get tested ASCP. Infact there should be public announcements everywhere in this Country to educate about Borellia. The wedding question ,,to go or not to go, you have a compromised immune system with Borellia,,you certainly do not need to be around alot of folks with hidden infections. What is your natural Killer T- cell count? Do you have HHV6 or EBV??? Personally I would skip the wedding, send a gift if you are finacially able and do the F.A.R.T.. Apply for SSA as soon as possible. This is a very serious illness not to take lightly. YOU HAVE A VERY SERIOUS ILLNESS. Herxing--you`ll know it when it happens, you will feel as sick as a dog day in the afternoon but worse the first couple of times. Everyone herxes differently. Men herx worse. The old saying when women have babies that you forget about the pain,,when you first herx you wont forget ever. But it does get better.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hi Deb, I would definately get a handicapped parking plate or permit. You can get a permanent or temporary one very easily in Texas. Just get the forms, which you can download from the Texas Department of Transportation website (Form VTR-214) and take to Dr. M. has had plates and a placard (for the rearview mirror) for a year, and I just got mine. Texas has red plates/placards for non- mobility impaired and blue for mobility impaired (needs cane, brace, crutch, or wheelchair). You can get a red one if you have other medical problems that impair your ability to walk or your strength (heat, breathing, heart problems, muscular weakness, fatigue, etc.) Fill out the form, take it to Dr. M to fill out his portion, and have him write an original prescription saying your are disabled and need plate or placard. Otherwise you have to have a notary sign the form. The tags cost $5.00 apiece. The plates are pro-rated from the time you last paid for your yearly renewal and are only a few dollars (I think I had to pay about $7.00 for the plates). Take the forms to the County Court Annex on Hwy. 26 (vehicle registration). I would seriously consider skipping the wedding. With what you all are going through, the recovery time would be very detrimental to your treatment. > Hi y'all - it's me, NurseDeb from DFW.

But it does get better. Isnt that the truth!! I had been mushed by a 1300lb horse and that felt better than the herx I had. When you have a herx, you'll know.

There should be Public Service Announcements warning Texas Taxpayers to get tested ASCP. In fact there should be public announcements everywhere in this Country to educate about Borellia. Hi All, There is undoubtedly an epidemic nationwide, perhaps as a result of actions by hostile foreign powers, or as results of misguided experiments by U. S. biowar forces; and the powers that be know about it In any case, if the true extent of the epidemic were known by the public, the insurance companies would face a very expensive problem. This is a possible explanation for the desparate ballyhooing of the Klempner studies in the 6-12-01 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine and, subsequnetly, in the national media. If Klempner and associates had desired to present a better case, they would have had their sujects' samples analyzed by the Bowen Lab. But that would have exposed these " scientists " to the terrible risk of valid test results. Of the 6 members of my family whose samples were analyzed by Bowen, all were positive; but only 2 of us had acute symptoms. After a year of antibiotic treatment, several of my conditions, which I never related to Lyme, have cleared up. How many more asymptomatic people like me are walking around with no idea they are loaded with spirochetes? Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Young man, RUN, do not walk, to Amazon.com and search their " candida " / " candidiasis " / " yeast " offerings. The info is out there; I have found 5 good books, plus cookbooks. Suggest you start with Trowbridge and go from there. You really have to do this for yourself all the way, as most GPS and internists are relatively clueless about candida. You have started off well, but you need to do the diet, and you deserve to know all the standard info. Good luck! hooversmom > About 6 weeks ago I visited my Doctor because of a > sore throat.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hi there, Is your name ? We like to go by first names here so that we can keep everyone straight. Not everyone's email address reflects their name. I feel for you. I also had acne growing up. It turned into cystic acne after being on the pill when I was 20. Acne is from the body trying to detoxify through the skin. You are right in assuming that your acne was worsened from taking the antibiotics because now, after taking them, your body has even more toxins to get rid of than before. On this program, most people find their symptoms get a little worse before they get better, so hang in there. If you just started taking the coconut oil a few weeks ago, you shouldn't yet be taking the oil of oregano. You need to be taking 6Tbsp. of coconut oil without much die-off before you start on your second antifungal, which is the oil of oregano. Going faster isn't going to help you and could actually make you suffer much more than you need to. Both vomiting and diarrhea are caused from die-off. So is the fatigue. The vomiting could be caused by taking too much coconut oil too soon, so you might want to back off the coconut oil until you can tolerate it a little better. You don't need to suffer so much in order to heal. You were asking about timelines for healing. Your calculation is correct. It takes one month for every year you've had symptoms for them to be healed. However, I'm wondering, if before the age of 15, were you ever sick? Bee says that most people nowadays have had a lowered immune system since the time when they were conceived, so perhaps it's better to think of being on this diet closer to 20 months, not just 5 or 6. Also, my son who is 4, has been on this diet for 6 months and he is still not fully healed. I think it takes a little longer to build the immune system than just a couple of months. That's what this program is really about, right - strengthening the immune system so that the body can *make* the candida change back to a healthy entity in the body. Have you tried Bee's Egg Drink yet? If you are able to have a mini-fridge in your dorm room, it might be good to keep some eggs so that you can make the Egg Drink. It's quick and easy and it's good for breakfast or a snack. You can make enough in the morning to keep in a thermos for later in the day. It's good to have another option when the cafeteria food isn't 'candida diet-friendly'. http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/recipe167.php I will let Bee comment on the ACV. Some of our members have reported that cod liver oil and the oil from a Vitamin A capsule has been very helpful when applied directly to the skin. Hope that helps! > > First, i want to thank Bee and everybody on here that takes the time to answer and help us sufferers. > <snip> > Bee's diet as best as possible for 5 weeks now and i just started 2 > weeks ago taking coconut oil and oil of oregano.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 > > First, i want to thank Bee and everybody on here that takes the time > to answer and help us sufferers. +++Hi there. Welcome to our group. Is your name ? <snip> but for the past 3 days i havent felt extremely > tired or threw up or anything, does this mean im doing something > wrong? or am i possible already past the die off symptoms? My > acne/folliculitis has been getting worse so is that also possible die off symptoms? +++I believe you are pushing your body too much by taking coconut oil plus oil of oregano before you were ready. If you give your body more than it can handle it will stop the healing process. That's why it is so important to take it easy and slow, giving your body enough time to adjust itself. +++It will not speed up the healing process to push your body, and it is mainly the " proper nutrients " that heal in the long run, and no matter what you do it still takes 1 month for every year. <snip> > One last thing,in Bee's article it says to avoid vinegars and also > apple cider vinegar even though some people don't react to bad for it and i was just wondering has anybody used ACV and had success? +++ACV obviously isn't required on this program in any case, since it's mainly " proper nutrients " (diet plus all supplements, and nothing else) that heals the body anyway. The best help for acne is " proper nutrients, " and helping your body detoxify with other treatments recommended, i.e. Bee's Electrolyte Drink, dry skin brushing (or another mild form of exercise), coffee enemas, etc. You can also try applying cod liver oil to your acne, OR mix oil of oregano and coconut oil 50/50 and apply it.

It lasted for about 15 minutes. *** Hi Mindy: The bacon probably had neurotoxins in the smoked flavoring, and also sugar and nitrates. These can cause a reaction like you had. http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/neurotoxins.php When you start to cleanse your body and it begins to feel strong enough to reject rather than store toxins, it will do so very quickly. That's what happened to you. You had a really strong reaction to your cheat. Which also means your body is getting strong enough to clear out stuff. > > I'm a very small person 5'0 and 110 lbs. Should I be working my way > up to 5 T of CO and not necessarily 6? ***** Bee has said that anyone as large as a typical 12-year-old child and larger should take the full adult dosage of supplements. Otherwise, you should take the amount for a child. Hope this helps, Marissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 <snip> +++Hi Mindy. Marissa was right in pointing out the problem with bacon. > I'm a very small person 5'0 and 110 lbs.

Larger people just need more food, but not more supplements. Smaller people need less food and the same amount of supplements as larger people. > > Bee, thank you so much for your vast amount of information. I LOVE > reading it and learning so much.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Are there any books to help 10 year old understanding what Asperger's is? We have told Aimee that we are trying to find out how to help her learn better. She struggles with her fine motor skills. We are going to be looking into more OT for her. Most of her homework is done on the computer, so she doesn't have to write it out. She has trouble staying in the lines or not wanting to take two lines to write her g's p's and so forth. Does anyone know what neurofibromatiosis (sp) means? Aimee has been scheduled for a MRI tomorrow and we are trying to understand what it will mean if she has this. I think I will stop there with the questions for now. Thanks for you help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Re: neurofibromatiosis. I really don't know about this hopefully there is a clear cut symptom they are concerned about other than autism spectrum disorder. Doctors do so much good. But I do find that some will order too many tests. Some doctors suspected an issue with my daughter but couldn't figure it out and wanted to test this and that. When it was clear to me what we wanted to test for and her symptoms matched what the test was for we found answers. I wish you much luck and your daughter good health.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Re: Neurofibromatosis My ex-husband has this. There are two subtypes. One involves tumors that grow along nerve pathways. In my ex-husband's case, it only involves these tumors which can be numerous and in some cases disfiguring. However, these same tumors can also grow on the auditory and/or visual nerve causing vision and/or hearing problems.I had a professor in college who had a hearing loss due to neurofibroma on her auditory nerve. There can also be learning disabilities, joint deformities, etc. It really depends where the tumors are located and what nerve pathways they follow.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I have a book called " The Asperger's Answer Book " and it has been pretty helpful. I just read the following: " Estimates of 12-37 percent of children with Asperger's may have one of the following medical disorders: chromosomal abnormalities, thyroid disorder, neurological disorders, neurofibromatosis, or tuberous sclerosis " Did you doc have any reason to think your daughter has neurofibromatosis? I don't know what the symptoms would be, but does she have symptoms of that? Or did he just think because it can occur more often is AS kids? Anyway, I had just read that yesterday, so when you mentioned it, I thought about this part of the book... the part I cited was on page 31 in the chapter called 'getting your child evaluated " This book is much more accessible than some, which read like psych text books, but this one is framed in questions from parents.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks, She has what is called cafe au lait spots on several locations on her body. So we went ahead with the MRI yesterday. She did awesome by the way. I was really worried how she would do with the loud sounds and having to lay completely still, but they said she was doing fine. My husband was in the room with I can't be near an MRI ( due to a shunt that can be reset if I get near an MRI) So we should hear something in the next couple of days.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 The cafe au lait spots are characteristic of neurofibromatosis. My ex-husband had them primarily in his underarm area. He was nit diagnosed until he was in the Navy 21 years old. He was a Navy medical corpsman working in the ER & a doctor wanted to remove a small tumor on his wrist. That is how they found out. He never had any problems other than external tumors that I know of. He never had an MRI.Sent from my iPhoneBlessings, DonnaOn Dec 30, 2009, at 9:24 AM, kricketsmommy@... wrote: Thanks, She has what is called cafe au lait spots on several locations on her body.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi , I believe it is still very possible to make great progress without the supplements. Although, I would try really hard to get the Cod Liver Oil & /or fish oil. Instead of the calcium/magnesium supplements, you can make make mineral rich bone broth and have 2 cups a day. Using left over bones from meat you buy. Ascorbic Acid is relatively cheap from the health food shop. I am not on any Vitamin C however and am seeing gains anyway. You are very lucky to have found this group, it's fantastic! Natalia > > Hi- I've been reading about candida for the last 2 weeks and have taken a couple quizzes to try to see if I might have candida. I have a strong feeling that I do have it based on my symptoms that I have had since I was a child. I'm 37 years old and I have had various symptoms since I was 4. Depression, anxiety, sugar addiction, bloating, allergies, lack of concentration/focus, ADD, nightmares, sleeping 12 hrs/day, acne, and joint pain. I've been underemployed/unemployed for many years now and I can not afford to do this entire program. Can candida be healed through diet alone? I can afford to buy food, but not the supplements.
